A rapidly growing developer of optical network systems is now looking for an FPGA Engineer to join their Engineering team.

We are looking for an experienced FPGA Engineer who can bring deep industry experience and strong technical expertise to developing develop high-speed network interfaces between xPUs and proprietary network.

As FPGA Engineer you will deliver scale-up and scale-out xPU interface solutions, working iteratively through a series of prototypes to ultimately deliver a production-grade solutions.

Responsibilities will include microarchitecture definition, implementation, and testing, as well as interfacing with software.

Additionally you will be preparing detailed technical documentation and presentations to stakeholders.

You will also be responsible for RTL Implementation, synthesis, timing closure; Unit verification planning and simulation testing using SystemVerilog; and Delivering and validating FPGA-based lab setups for customer trials.

Now is an exciting time to join a growing technology company, who can offer flexible working and generous benefits.

Experience:

As an experienced FPGA Engineer, who has worked in similar network / optical network development, you will have extensive hands-on industry experience of FPGA design for GPU/CPU interfacing and networking at 100Gbps and above.

Experience in some or all of the following is required:

* UALink, NVLink, PCIe, RDMA, CXL

* Clock domain crossing techniques

* FPGA tool flows (synthesis, partitioning, place&route, timing analysis)

* SystemVerilog/Verilog/VHDL

* Scripting and automation, such as TCL and Python

* Questa, VCS

* Quartus/Vivado/Vitis

* Host software interfaces and device drivers

* Embedded systems, including soft processors (Microblaze/Nios/RISC V) and SoC programming.

* High-performance FPGA devices: Xilinx Versal Premium or Intel Agilex 7

Qualifications:

In addition to your commercial experience, you should hold a Bachelor or Master degree in electronics engineering, physics, or similar relevant field. Significant experience within industry can be considered.

Additional Information:

Candidates MUST be eligible to work and live in the UK, without requiring sponsorship. Copies of Visa and Passport will be requested.

Salary / Benefits:

In addition to a Competitive Salary, my client offers a range of Benefits including Hybrid and Flexible Working, Stock Options, 25 days holiday, and relocation assistance.

Where to Advertise Semiconductor Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Advertising semiconductor jobs in the UK requires a fundamentally different approach to most technical hiring. The candidate pool is one of the smallest and most specialised in any engineering discipline — spanning IC design engineers, process engineers, fab technicians, EDA tool developers, compound semiconductor physicists and power electronics specialists. General job boards are largely ineffective for semiconductor hiring. The community is tight-knit, highly academic in its roots and concentrated around a small number of university groups, fab facilities and design centres. Specialist boards, academic channels and direct community engagement are the primary sourcing strategies that work. This guide, published by SemiconductorJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise semiconductor roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Semiconductor Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Semiconductors are the foundational technology of the modern world. Every smartphone, electric vehicle, data centre, medical device, satellite, and AI accelerator depends on them. And yet for much of the past decade, the strategic importance of semiconductor design and manufacturing was something that governments, investors, and employers took largely for granted — until supply chain crises, geopolitical tensions, and the insatiable compute demands of artificial intelligence made the vulnerability of global semiconductor supply chains impossible to ignore. The response has been significant and sustained. The UK's National Semiconductor Strategy, the US CHIPS Act, the EU Chips Act, and parallel investment programmes across Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan have collectively committed hundreds of billions of pounds to semiconductor research, design, and manufacturing capability. In the UK specifically, that investment is beginning to translate into real hiring — across compound semiconductor manufacturing, chip design, semiconductor equipment, advanced packaging, and the growing ecosystem of fabless design companies that are choosing Britain as their base. For job seekers, the semiconductor jobs market of 2026 represents an opportunity that is more commercially urgent, more geographically distributed, and more technically diverse than at any previous point in the sector's UK history. The roles being created span the full semiconductor value chain — from fundamental materials research and process engineering through chip design, verification, and the software that makes silicon useful. The candidates who will thrive over the next three years are those who understand where that value chain is being built, which technical areas are attracting the most investment, and how to position their skills at the intersection of the sector's greatest needs. This article breaks down what the UK semiconductor jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career at the leading edge of one of the most strategically important technology sectors in the UK economy.

New Semiconductor Employers to Watch in 2026: UK and International Companies Transforming Chip Careers

The semiconductor industry is entering a new era of investment, geopolitical significance, and technological innovation. As advanced chips power everything from artificial intelligence and edge computing to autonomous vehicles and 5G infrastructure, demand for skilled professionals across design, verification, fabrication, and test engineering continues to rise. For professionals exploring opportunities on www.SemiconductorJobs.co.uk , understanding which employers are scaling, raising funds, winning contracts, or establishing UK operations is critical. This article highlights the new semiconductor employers to watch in 2026, including UK innovators, major international players expanding locally, and emerging firms driving next‑generation semiconductor technologies.
